The McDowell Mountain
Residence
A calmer working core for a home that opens in every direction.
Transformation
A clearer way
to live.
Drag across the join to compare the original layout with the architectural plan.
The brief
“The centre of the house lacked a useful working core, and pantry storage competed with the visual quiet needed in the adjacent living room.”
The design direction
“A concealed pantry and tall joinery wall organise the practical parts of the kitchen, so the central space can remain calm and open.”
Material direction
Built from
the right details.
Fine vertical grain to lengthen the elevation.
A resilient surface with subtle depth.
A grounded accent at lighting and pulls.
Continuity from the kitchen into living areas.
